Big fish in small tanks

[Luiz Rocha]

New study scientifically confirms what most of us already knew, fish in small and overpopulated tanks tend to be more aggressive...

Of course. Unfortunately there also seems to be a progression over time. (Sohal tang for instance)

I also like how he talked about having the correct environment for the fish. If a fish likes caves and hiding places you want to have those to keep the natural environment.

My sohal took offense to that statement. LOL
Here he is trying to rip into my scraper. He does not like me cleaning the tank. LOL
A big baby with me though. He nibbles on my hand and arm when i am working in there.
It does not have to be a progression thing though, some are just pure evil at 4 inches. I know i had one that was that way. He wanted to killl everything in the tank. Fish that were 2-3 times his size.
